Redesigning Your Life


Life! By Design: 6 Steps to an Extraordinary YouI just recently returned home from vacation.  On my way back with my family after taking a road trip to Georgia, we decided to stop over in Raleigh to visit with my cousins.  While there my mom became ill and was hospitalized.  I sent the rest of my family on home and I stayed in Raleigh with my mom who was in the hospital for 3 days.  Between the long drive from Georgia to North Carolina and the time I spent in the hospital with my mom I had a lot of time to think about my life.  I asked myself one key question, "Audrey are you living your dream life?"  And to be truthful to myself, my answer was no.  So I decided once I returned home I would write out what my dream life actually entailed.  Once I had finished writing it all down I felt liberated.  I felt free.  I felt clear.  I felt empowered.  Now my next step is to start living this life that made me feel this way just from writing it down on paper.  Time for me to redesign my life into the on that I envision.  So I shared this with you because I wanted to know if you were living your dream life.  I would like to suggest that you write it down on paper and I would love for you to share with me and the rest of the network what experience you had once you were done writing.

Thanks as always for being a part of this network!
Until Next Time

Living Your Perfect Life

Embracing Change: Using the Treasures Within YouSo often we live our lives according to someone else's plan.  I did The Ms. Boss Show this morning and the topic that came to me was designing your perfect life.  I started to wonder why was it so hard for people to do that, then I looked at some of the reasons that I wasn't fully living my life by design and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.  The first thing you must do in designing your perfect life is to become clear about what that life looks like.  what does it entail.  What do you do for a living?  Where do you live?  What do you drive?  Where do you dine?  Where do you vacation?  Where does your children go to school?  What are your hobbies?  What are your dreams?  I think you get the picture.  The next thing you is to put all of these things on paper and get them out of your head.  The next thing you must do is identify the problems in your life and find a solution for them.  Stop complaining and whining.   This one is a biggie.  Don't be afraid of change.  Change is emminent.  It is going to happen anyway.  So just embrace the idea of change and move on.  I know that this is easier said than done, but it is a must if you want to live your life by your own personal design. 

So I hope that you draw some inspiration from my words.  I heard this phrase in a song and I want to share it with you before I close.  "Everybody Dies, But Not Everybody Lives."  I thought that was so powerful and so true.  Start living your new life today.

Until Next Time
Make It A Great Day!
